KASHMIRI MUGAL HUNT FOLK ART PLATTER

This listing features a traditional Kashmiri papier mâché decorative platter, dating back to the early 20th Century. It depicts a mountainous forest with several hunters stirring things up. There is a noble man with a long blade on horseback, a tiger, and a fox, each in different stages of capturing their prey. Rabbits, gazelles, and various deer-like animals scatter in all directions through a lush, green forest. The minute details and movement in this hand painted scene are simply exquisite.

It measures 12 1/2 inches in diameter and is in beautiful condition. The only obvious wear is underneath, which was completely black lacquered (see detail photos). There is a small base with an artist mark, but time has rendered it illegible. Overall, the piece is light weight and evenly balanced.

The rim is thick at 3/4 inches, decorated with a continuous pattern. Not only have all the colors been beautifully preserved by the lacquer, the gold gilt highlights are all still bright.
